This article examines the existence of a long-run relationship between energy intensity, trade openness, structure of the economy and FDI inflows in India from 1973 to 2013 using auto regressive distributive lag (ARDL) bounds test methodology. The results indicate that (a) there is a long-run cointegration among the analysed variables and (b) an increase in trade openness, share of services in gross domestic product (GDP) and share of FDI in domestic investments results in lowering energy intensity. The study also finds that the magnitude of impact of the share of industry in increasing energy intensity in India outweighs the combined energy intensity lowering impact of trade openness, share of services and share of FDI. The study validates tenets of the theory of heterogeneity of firms in international trade and pitches for including 'energy intensity' as a policy parameter in promoting 'energy-frugal' technologies via Make-in-India initiative, trade and FDI policies.

In this book Rajneesh Narula examines the interdependence of globalization and technological innovation at two levels: first, between locations, by examining the role of cross-border initiatives in the innovation process; second, between corporate entities, by studying the dynamics of inter-firm R&D collaboration. Examines the international aspect of the interdependence of globalization and technology. Explores the role of cross-border interdependence in the innovation process, as well as interdependence between firms. Reveals an interesting paradox: locations and firms are increasingly interd

New and disruptive technologies are making wars extremely complex. Drones play a crucial role in ISR operations, as well as in coordinating and directing punitive strikes. Russia and Ukraine have been using drone technology to gain an upper hand in a dynamic battlefield.

The subterranean infrastructure developed by Hamas, popularly known as the 'Gaza Metro' consists of tunnels, command and control centres, living spaces, stores and contingency fighting positions. The infrastructure is the pivot of Hamas's irregular warfare strategy and allows it to undertake both offensive and defensive operations and has been assessed as one of its centres of gravity. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been aware of the infrastructure but has possibly been surprised by the scale and sophistication achieved by Hamas in tunnel construction. The IDF's technologies and doctrinal concepts are being tested every day in the ongoing war and will have a number of lessons for the Indian Army.

Israel set itself five goals in the aftermath of the 7 October Hamas terrorist strikes. These included re-establishing domestic political solidarity, re-establishing control over territories overrun by Hamas fighters, preventing war escalation, preserving and expanding international support for securing freedom of action in the war and launching a military offensive to destroy Hamas.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) since its formation in 2007 has emerged as one of Pakistan's deadliest terrorist organisations. Following the breakdown of Imran Khan government's peace negotiations in 2021 and subsequent surge in TTP's terrorist actions, it is likely the group, inspired by Afghan Taliban, is working to take control over territories in Pakistan's tribal areas with the eventual aim of extending its control over all of Pakistan.

The United States and its allies have taken significant policy measures including sweeping export control regulations to make it hard for China to obtain advanced chips and chip making equipment. China though continues to be an important player in the globalised supply chain. China is directing its efforts towards manufacturing cutting-edge processors as also attempting to become competitive in legacy chip manufacturing. India is also seeking to build a vibrant semiconductor and display design and innovation ecosystem.
